Have you tried "B&Q"- our local ones stock a range of aluminium tube and rod
and they have sizes that do "slide together"- I was looking for something
similar for making antennas. I think they have tube around 3/4 of an inch.
Material is in 1m lengths and I recall that 1 m of 6mm o/d tube is about
£1.50. Maybe not the cheapest source but, if you only need a few bits, not
an issue.
I'm pretty sure the B&Q warehouse at Thurrock stocks the same stuff- as a
'treat' my wife lets me visit there when we have to make a pilgrimage to
Ikea!
